Delete Cancelled PO – Ax2012/D365 FOhttps://anithasantosh.wordpress.com/2018/02/06/delete-cancelled-po-ax2012-d365-fo/

Though it seemed to be a simple task but when the POs had many confirmation versions, we ended up with the error “If previous versions exist, the current document cannot be deleted. “

In order to overcome this error, PO related records are to be deleted from the table PurchTableVersion.

Also note,deleting the corresponding Purchline would end up in a SOFT delete (records are not deleted from the database instead the field “IsDeleted” is set to yes ) . To handle this, delete the records from the table PurchLineHistory.

Deleting a cancelled PO has references in many tables, so the above post is as-is and the above suggestion can be tried in Test or other environments before doing in Prod.

There are situations where we need to find the records for a particular created Date or between from/To datetime fields. In such cases, Global class helps us with the functions:

datetobeginUtcDateTime

datetoendUtcDateTime

Below code snippet finds the records from the purch table for the given date.

This is feasible when we have limited objects. but if the object count is more, this approach is tedious.

So here is another way to move the objects from one model to another.

Open the project which has all the objects.

In the same solution, create another project and set its model to the new one .

Drag and drop the objects from the above project to the new one .

Sync and Rebuild.

Now the objects are ready in new model .

This way our job becomes easy and we can be sure the obejcts are not missed because there are chances of missing the objects when they are moved across physical locations.

AR Parameters -> Settlements Tab -> Options group

AR -> Posting Profiles -> Table restriction group

When Automatic settlement is enabled,parameters can also be set to decide against which transactions the Credit note can be settled. For instance, it can be settled against Open transaction against the customer or with the original SO or with the payment created. This set up can be done from

When the parameter “Default Settlement type for Credit notes” is set to None,the credit note will be settled against the original SO. If it is Designated Transactions, the settlement will be against GL Transactions which have open balance.

Note: There might be various other factors involved for the users business requirement. This is just a cent of my thought where Automatic settlement is involved with the above set up.

As we are aware, SpecTrans is the table which is used for this requirement. This post gives an overview of the fields that are needed when this table is used for marking settlement.

As a first step, for our requirement a new payment journal is created with corresponding values. So how do we populate the values in SpecTrans which marks the settlement?This is where the fields SpecTransRecid/SpecTransTableId plays a role. These fields are mapped with the values of Tableid and RecId of the LedgerJournalTrans where the settlement is marked.

What is the use of the field RefRecid/RefTableId? In our scenario, the invoice and the actual settle amount are referred from the table CustTransOpen (from the relation CustTrans). So these fields have the values of TableId and RecId of CustTransOpen.

The field Balance01 denotes the amount that is being settled. If there is partial settlement , then this field has the value of settled amount.

Given below the code snippet which is used for Customer settlement.

Is there is a way to suppress this option. Yes. Here it is :

The property ” Export Allowed” in the form grid can be set to No. Thus the user will not be able to see the option of “Export to Excel”.

Another tip : Is it possible to change the text “Export to Excel” to other text value?? Yes. In the picture above, look at the other option “Export label”. By default, this label takes the value as “Export to Excel”. User can enter the label as per the requirement and the effect can be see on the form after a build.

In my previous blog , we saw on exporting limited fields with the help of personalisation.

In this blog, let us see to unhide the fields which we were hidden.

For instance, let us assume, the field “Orderer” has been hidden from the form “Vendor Invoice Entry”. This field will not be visible even after the form refresh or reload the form. Given below the steps on doing this.

Click on Personalise option again

On clicking this option, you will see this personalize table. Click the highlighted one. (this is the option to Unhide) .

As soon as you click this highlighted option, you will see all the hidden fields:

Then click on the field which you wanted to see. (In this case, click Orderer ). Then click Close in the personalize table. Now you will be able to see the field.

There may be situations where the user expects to export only few fields from the form .

There are 2 ways to do this :

Make the Visible property of the field in the form as No. But if the user expects the field to be available, then this is not a feasible solution.

Another ideal way with less technical intervention is form Personalisation. User can export and import the personalisation . Given below the steps to do it.

Personalise the form by hiding the unnecessary fields. (When the session is refreshed, user will be able to see all the fields in the form)

Export the personalisation. It is exported as XML file which has the changes for hidden fields.

Whenever user needs to use “Export to Excel” , below steps are to be followed

Same approach can be used for Exporting the personalisation as well.

There is another option of getting these details by navigating to AOT>Roles> Choose a role name -> right click> Addins-> Security tools. In this case, we see a lengthy report (listed for each field).
